A suggestion from an outsider that knows very little about Alliance. If the politics of the server would allow for 1:1 retals instead of L:L, would that kill Land Trading?

The politics doesn't allow for it. Clan servers means if you have more members, you have more weight to back your clan policies, and if you can back L:L and go to war over it and win, then other clans are going to give in.
That's exactly how L:L even came about, the larger clans were able to enforce it over 1:1 in order to keep their land.
Like landtrading, L:L is too entrenched at this moment, just about every single tag practices it.
In fact, landtrading even _supports_ L:L. This reset, LaF had some cases where a 80k country would setup a 2:1 trade with a 50k country (that is, the 80k retals the 50k country twice) in order to reach a fair and agreeable trade where both parties end up in a win:win scenario (essentially a L:L was performed). This situation is obviously due to a lack of 80k countries to perform a 1:1 trade with.
